The Implant Crown: What You're Actually Paying For
The implant crown (D6065) is the visible tooth that attaches to your implant post. It's a separate charge from the implant surgery itself — which surprises many patients who assumed the "implant price" included everything.
Material drives the biggest price difference. Zirconia implant crowns — the current standard for aesthetics and durability — cost more than PFM implant crowns. For implant crowns, zirconia is generally preferable because it's metal-free, biocompatible, and exceptionally strong. Many practices now use zirconia as their default.
The abutment — the connector piece that attaches the crown to the post — is sometimes included in the D6065 quote and sometimes billed separately. This is a $200–$500 variable that often catches patients off guard. Always ask whether the abutment is included.
Lab fees apply here just as they do for regular crowns. An implant crown requires precise custom fabrication to match your bite and adjacent teeth — the quality of the lab directly affects the fit, function, and appearance of the result.
What to Watch For
If your total implant quote seems low, the implant crown is often where the hidden costs emerge. Get an itemized quote that separates the post, the crown, and any abutment code. Compare those line items individually against benchmarks, not just the total.
